Our Environment...

So concerned are we all with our world environment we have now got Oatcake manufacturers really looking at their ingredients. They would not do that if they didn't think it sold their oatcakes!

Patersons Rough Oatcakes are now orang-utan friendly!! Why? Because they are made with olive oil and not highly saturated palm oil. Their packaging tells us that vast amounts of rainforests in South East Asia are destroyed to clear way for palm oil plantations. In the past 20 years, 80% of orang-utans' habitat has disappeared. If this destruction continues at this rate then one of man's closest relative's could sadly face extinction within the next 20 years. As well as switching to olive oil Patersons also make a monthly donation, and have become members of, the Orang-utan Foundation.

...and that is just an interesting fact that we wished to share with you
